Lacrosse advice sought

We are interested in getting our 6 year old son involved in recreational/group lacrosse. We want him to begin to learn the basic rules and skills but most importantly to have fun! This will be his first real experience playing the game. We live in Colonie but would be willing to travel a small distance to get him started. I am hoping that you or your readers can point us in the right direction. Thanks!

We had very good experiences with the Capitalland Lacrosse and Field Hockey Club based in Halfmoon at the Sportsplex. Nice people, well-organized, a good start for young children. For information, check out the website highlighted above or e-mail chad@capitallandlacrosse.com

Readers might be able to help find programs closer to where you live. I know there is training offered by Albany Power Lacrosse but I don’t know if they start that young.

Hey Heather, I also live in Colonie and they have very good youth program that the high school coaches run. Lots of opportunities to learn/play lax year round,…………….for VERY cheap (and sometimes free)!!

You should contact coach Mike Joyce at CCHS for more information on all things colonie boys lacrosse.
